Bath repair at your home in Leadgate
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are deep scratches in acrylic and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Work done at your home or business

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Leadgate. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Leadgate
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Common problems we fix in Leadgate
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chipped rim or side
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Questions from Leadgate
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
